Security & privacy
Volunteer addresses and medical records deserve care.
Here is how we handle the data you trust us with.
Hosted in the EU
All data is stored and processed in data centres inside the European Union.
Encrypted
Connections use TLS. Data is encrypted at rest, including backups.
Roles and access
Coordinators see everything; volunteers see what they need. ID numbers stay masked until revealed.
Backups
Daily backups, kept for 30 days, restored on request.
GDPR
We act as your processor and sign a data processing agreement (DPA) with every rescue.
Messaging consent
Every email has an unsubscribe link. WhatsApp, if you use it, only reaches people who opted in — and they can stop with STOP.
Deletion
When you leave, we delete your data within 30 days.
No selling, no ads
Your data is used to run Fosterly for you — nothing else.
